Error creating a computer-to-computer network

Do you mean an Ad-Hoc network?

Since installing Snow Leopard I have been unable to get my MB Pro to talk to my iPod touch.

See http://www.codez4mac.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=89&t=40120&sid=04a03af9d5190bc17e db47705a0a9e91&p=451747 for an earlier discussion of the same problem.

First thing is go to system preferences. Go to Sharing. Go to Internet Sharing. Click where says"share you connection from" choice ethernet. You have to have ethernet to share internet with you ipod ITOUCH. Click the lock and type in your admin information. Click Airport where it says" to computer using". Now go to your ITOUCH and go to settings. Go the find a internet connection. It should work. I have not try this myself. You can always buy cheap WFI- net-GEAR thing plug in your ethernet to it. You should have WFI going up in 2-5 minutes. Good luck I hope it works out for you.

Hope the above link works.

I am having the exact some issue I cannot create and Adhoc network...

I have been through the other posts and you can create the adhoc network using channels 36,40,44,48. This does not really help. As I what to connect MACENC software between my mac and iphone. IT worked perfectly on Leopard but now not on snow leopard.

Same problem: Immediately after installing Snow Leopard Airport failed to create a Network: +'There was an error creating a computer-to-computer Network'+. I'm now unable as previously to use Wi-Fi to sync with iPhone.

Has Apple acknowledged this problem? Where do we go to find out?

Guys this solution worked for me. I will repost: by mesagsx

I have a solution, and it worked for me today, which should make everyone here happy.

* Under airport menu, go to "open network preferences"
* Under "advanced" in the airport tab, click on "Require Administrator password to ... create computer-to-computer networks".
* click OK
* click apply
* under airport, create a network (using some unique SSID name, like blah1)
* under airport, disconnect from blah1
* go back to your airport prefs again (see above)
* uncheck that annoying option about requiring administrator password, etc...
* click OK
* click apply
* go to internet sharing and do your thing like you usually did before.


I'm guessing this is just a bug with a SETUID permission on an executable, now that this option has been added to snow leopard ... and the setting of that option, and subsequent unsetting of it is enough to get the setuid bits all correct.

It is fixed...Yippeee after software updating to 10.6.1 the functionality is back and working fine

I have 10.6.1 but still could not create computer-to-computer network.
Also suggestion to enable password on creating network did not help for me 😟
So I see problem still not solved 😟

Not working here, too..

Same problem. Was working before and now it isn't. Admin suggestion not working either. Major bummer.

I have an older Macbook Pro and still get the error message after trying everything on this post. My Sister on the other hand has a newer Macbook installed Snow Leopard from the same CD and has no problem making computer-to-computer networks?????
I need some help.
